  • Notes 
    • “On Sept. 13, 1808 a death entry for Susanna was placed in civil records at Niderhoff. It stated that she was born April 4, 1808 (matching her birth entry there), was a daughter of miller Jacob Oyer and his wife Susanne Charzes [Schertz], and had died at age 5 months, 6 days. It was signed by grandfather Hans Oyer, 56; father Jacob Oyer; and uncle Joseph Oyer, 32. We cannot explain the motives for this entry. Jacob brought a 22-year-old daughter Susanna with him when he sailed on the Superior; she is buried in Guth Cemetery, and a photograph of her headstone can be found in the county cemetery book. It says she died Dec. 12, 1888 or 1889, at 79 years, 8 months, and 7 days – either one year and one day, or simply one day off the civil entry birth date. “ [2]
